<grin> And probably not far off the mark. I *did* note, however, a
potential market for the newer L-1011-500s. ATA just bought several
(three?) low(er)-age -500s from Royal Jordanian for expansion. They
have a pretty substantial fleet of L-1011s right now. Perhaps they'd
be interested in the newest of Delta's 1011s.
